Bayeux (Normandy)

A region brimming with history and places to discover, Normandy never ceases to amaze with its charm and diversity. This region between land and sea saw the arrival of the Vikings in the 9th century, the English occupation, the wanderings of romantic artists and the landing of the Second World War.

In the heart of this region, not far from the coast, lies the commune of Bayeux. This extraordinarily well-preserved town was founded in Gallo-Roman times as Augustodurum. In the 10th century, it became the second most important town in Normandy, and Duke Richard Ist built a castle here. The town continued to develop in the Middle Ages, with the construction of a cathedral, and later in the 18th century, with the building of town houses. Fortunately, Bayeux was completely spared the bombardments of the Second World War, allowing the preservation of its exceptional heritage.

Today, the town is best known for its 11th-century Tapestry, listed on UNESCO's Memory of the World register. This unique piece, nearly 70 meters long, tells the story of William, the Duke of Normandy who became King of England in 1066. The commune also boasts a wealth of museums relating to the Second World War, and is not far from the D-Day landing beaches.

Bayeux is also a great place to stroll. Its exceptional architecture, mansions and hidden gardens make it a town rich in possibilities. The surrounding countryside is also very pleasant. It's possible to find unspoilt, intimate beaches without having to go too far from Bayeux.

The region and its real estate market

The Normandy region offers a wide variety of landscapes and architecture. Between town and country, the Normandy real estate market includes town apartments, stud farms and Normandy houses with breathtaking views out to sea.

Bayeux attracts many investors attracted by its quality of life, proximity to the coast and remarkable architecture. As a result, the region's real estate market is dynamic and often under pressure. Half-timbered houses are particularly popular, and buyers are quick to seize opportunities as they arise.
